revive coral cleaner

[fox2589]

hey there all as im starting a new system the way i should have done it to begin with i am going to start dipping corals like i should have been doing from the start as well..my question is should i use revive?a few reputable people have recommended it but i am just seeing if people use other things and why..and also with the revive it says it is for stony corals..is this stony corals only or can you also dip zoas,softies and lps as well?let me know-drew

Hey Drew ,
Most of the threads and posts recommend Revive. I've been reading more and more about it since I had a spider ride in on my zoas and a bunch of star fish.The star fish I found out were harmless after I killed 4 of them. It seems that it really depends on the coral. One pest in particular is red bugs that gets past some treatments. Hope it helps . I'll keep an eye and see what others say

I use revive. I love it. Ive dunked my zoas in there. They are still kicking today. Ive also dipped my hammer in it, which now has several baby hammers budding off. I say go for it, its some great stuff.

Other than the fact the it smells EXACTLY like Pine-Sol It's great!
I use it in conjunction with Lugols.

I first dip in Lugols and then into Revive.

ok i will look into lugols as well..i was under the impression they both do the same thing?am i off on this assumption?-drew

Lugol's is iodine... it is a disinfectant and can kill some parasites.

I don't really know what Revive is made out of.

Pine-Sol

I use the lugols as a primary dip and the Revive as a secondary. Revive is actually a coral cleaner ans I got it for SPS but fount it also work great as a dip.

The best part is that it's less then $10 and lasts about a year!
